Le Bon Pasteur座落在Pomerol和St. Emilion的交界處，莊名“Le Bon Pasteur” 是取自聖經裡的「善牧者」之意。1920年左右Joseph和Hermine Dupuy夫婦買下了這個莊園的基礎部分，之後他們的下一代Geneviève 和Serge Rolland又陸續買下一些葡萄園，在1955年達到現今的規模。其中Chateau Le Bon Pasteur有6.62公頃，種植Pomerol典型的Merlot(80%)和Cabernet Franc(20%)，平均樹齡超過40歲，有些甚至超過50、60歲。2008年份起，Le Bon Pasteur啟用了新的特別釀造方式：在人工篩選葡萄之後，直接將顆粒完整的葡萄裝到橡木桶中，每桶裝入250公斤的葡萄，然後每天以人工轉動木桶促進葡萄汁充分萃取顏色和香味，然後是25到30天的靜置期，整個浸皮發酵期長達40到60天；發酵是採用葡萄上的天然酵母。這樣特別的釀造法釀出非常獨特迷人的香味，而且口感圓柔細膩。

A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend. It reveals textbook notes of mocha, tobacco leaf, blackberries, black cherries, roasted coffee and wood smoke. Full-bodied and luscious with a succulent, beautifully textured, multidimensional mouthfeel, low acidity and sweet but noticeable tannin, it is reminiscent of the 1982 Bon Pasteur, which continued to put on weight for a decade or more. If the 2009 does the same, it will come close to equaling that legendary vintage. Drink it over the next 20+ years.
